Chapter 451 Chance Encounter
Speaking of dragon boat racing, it only happened in the last seven or eight years.
The people in Changlefang are the happiest about this matter.
Because of this grand event of dragon boat racing, especially the young men and women from high-ranking aristocrats in Chang'an City, they most like this kind of event where they can participate in groups and steal the show. .
Moreover, every year in the dragon boat racing competition, the royal family will win.
The dragon boat team that won the championship last year not only won gold, but was also given a place to study in the Imperial College.
In addition, people who want to watch the game will definitely eat, drink, and buy in Changlefang. This can really generate income for Changlefang.
So, from top to bottom, everyone living in Changlefang particularly loves this festival.
Nineteenth drove the carriage directly to the carriage and horse shop. Li Sanniang actually saw a board erected next to the carriage and horse shop with an introduction to each dragon boat team in this competition.
Li Sanniang looked at what was posted on this board and said that there were thirty-five teams in the early stage, divided into five rounds of competition, and the remaining ten teams would decide the leader, second and third place. Come.
A person standing next to the board saw Li Sanniang looking at the board carefully, and asked with a smile: "Madam, are you here to watch the dragon boat race in our Changle Square?"
Li Sanniang did not expect that this person would follow her. As she spoke, at first she thought this person was standing here waiting for someone like her.
However, Li Sanniang also smiled and nodded without reaching out to hit the smiling person.
"Is this your first time here, Madam?
Do you need me to introduce you to Madam?"
Li Sanniang said "Ah" in her heart. Did she really not expect that the people in Changlefang would be so enthusiastic?
How about an introduction?
"Haha, haha," at this time, the old man who had set up a small stall next to the carriage and horse shop to sell some straw woven goods he made laughed out loud.
Li Sanniang turned to look at the old man, wondering why he was laughing.
“Don’t blame me, madam, the old man means no harm.
This man is a waiter from the shop at the back, who comes out to solicit customers. He's not a bad person, don't be afraid, madam. "
Seeing that Li Sanniang didn't say anything, the old man continued in a familiar manner: "The old man has been selling straw knitting here for five or six years, and the shop behind this sells groceries.
Every year when there is a dragon boat race in Changlefang, a board like this is used to attract customers.
Look, madam, the street patrol is over there. This is not a lie. "
At this time, the clerk also interjected: "Madam, our shop is a serious business. We are also betting on food, and it does not violate the law.
We are decent people. "
The surprised expression on Li Sanniang's face pleased the clerk and the old man. The clerk was very professional. He stood aside and pointed at the ten teams on the board and said: "Look, madam, everyone is most optimistic about this year." It is the Chang'an Feilong team led by Mr. Sanlang of the Zhang family.
However, the Dongdu (today's Luoyang) Tigers team where Erlang Jun of the Xu family belonged was also very promising. "
Then, until Nineteenth parked his carriage and came over, the guy didn't even finish introducing the ten teams.
"How do you place bets here? ”
Li Sanniang looked at the boy talking so eloquently that she felt too embarrassed not to place a bet.
“We are serious business people, we don’t gamble with money, we only gamble with food.”
Then, the waiter led Li Sanniang and the others into the shop. As soon as they entered, Li Sanniang saw that this It's really a grocery store.
There are a lot of things on the cabinet, and there are also things hanging on the three walls. Even against the wall, there is a cabinet as high as a person, and there are many open sacks on the ground.
Li Sanniang looked at it, not only food was sold, but also salt and sugar. There were pottery jars, basins and other things in the corner, and there were many straw mats hanging on one wall.
"Look, madam, if you buy enough taels of goods in our shop, you can get a ticket that can be used for betting. If you win the bet, madam, you can exchange the note for three naan cakes.
This is a very good deal, what do you want to buy, madam?
Our shop has everything, including food, drink, and entertainment.”
Finally, Li Sanniang bought white sugar and brown sugar, got a ticket with the name of the shop printed on it, and bet the leader, the Chang'an Feilong Team.
After leaving the shop, Li Sanniang bought three straw hats from the old man to express her gratitude to the old man for rescuing the situation.
Therefore, when Li Sanniang and the other three arrived at Juyi Building, it was already past lunch time, but they saw Li Sanlang waiting at the door of Juyi Building.
"Sister-in-law!" "Why are you the only one here?"
"Sister-in-law, I am waiting here specially for you to come. Grandma is afraid that you will come late. If you can't find us, let me wait for you here."
When Li Sanniang heard what Li Sanlang said, it would be half an hour before Li's mother and the others came back, so she took Li Sanlang with her. He went directly into Juyi Building with Qiuxiang and Shijiu.
Although it was a holiday, it was not yet time for dinner, so there were quite a few empty seats in the lobby on the first floor.
Li Sanniang found a seat by the window and sat down. After asking the waiter if she could order, she first ordered four bowls of soup cakes, a cold dish and a plate of mutton.
Li Sanlang heard that Li Sanniang also called him, so he quickly said: "Sister-in-law, I had lunch for lunch. I am not hungry yet, so there is no need to order me soup cakes."
< br>"You are still young. How can you not be hungry when you are growing up?
You can eat that soup cake. It will take a while until Aniang and the others come back."
In this way, Li Sanlang did not refute.
After the waiter took the order and went down, Li Sanlang saw the straw hat that Nineteenth placed behind him.
When Li Sanniang was about to explain what happened next to the carriage and horse shop, she heard a handsome male voice behind her calling her "Sanniang?"
Li Sanniang turned around and saw that it was actually Xu Jingzhen and Fang Chengxian!
Ah, no, besides these two people, there are two men and a woman standing next to them.
Li Sanniang watched Xu Jingzhen and Fang Chengxian explain a few words to the other three people. The three people followed the waiter to the second floor, while Xu Jingzhen and Fang Chengxian walked towards Li Sanniang and the others. Come over.
Everyone saluted, Li Sanniang invited the two of them to sit down, but they did not respond.
"It's a coincidence that I met Sanniang on such a day.
Is Sanniang waiting for Dr. Li and the others?"
Meet Li Sanniang Nodding, Fang Chengxian said with a smile: "We finally got together during the holiday. Originally, Jingzhen and I were the only ones here. We met our in-laws on the way, so we came here together.
Don’t bother Miss Sanniang anymore, see you later. "
After Fang Chengxian said this, Xu Jingzhen only nodded and said nothing. After the two of them bowed, they went up to the second floor together.
Li Sanniang didn't feel much in her heart, but Keeping Fang Chengxian's body in mind, he thought about how Fang Chengxian's condition was under good control when he checked his pulse last time, so he didn't say anything. He just nodded, returned the greeting, and watched the two of them leave.
